✨ NAME ✨

okay bestie, welcome to the flickr_make_test_values era 💖 — this is a little script (from the FLICKR..._VALUES(1p) manual, in case you were wondering what that chaotic title was about 🫶) whose whole job is to assist with testing the Flickr::API. that's it. that's the mission. and honestly? it ate. 🎀

🌸 SYNOPSIS 🌸

flickr_make_test_values --values_out=file_to_build [--values_in=existing_file]

literally just that one line, no cap. look at her. so simple. so iconic. ✨

💅 OPTIONS 💅

Required (aka non-negotiable, periodt):

  • --values_out — points to where to create the stored Flickr values file. no --values_out, no file, no vibes. it's giving mandatory. 🔥

Optional (aka do it if it serves):

  • --values_in — points to the optional input values file to use as a base for the --values_out file you are creating 🦋
  • --help — as expected, bestie 😌
  • --usage — shows the usage 🌸
  • --man — pulls up the man page 📖

🌈 DESCRIPTION 🌈

so this script is a lightweight method to assemble key/value pairs for testing the Flickr::API 💖 it's the thing that builds a file for the make test portion of installation. lowkey essential.

the important part: it does not use Flickr::API 🚫 and it sticks to modules from perl core so that it can be used prior to — and perhaps in conjunction with — installation and testing of the Flickr::API module. the way that it's self-sufficient? main character energy, fr fr 👑

🎀 when you make test 🎀

add the environment variable MAKETEST_VALUES, pointing to the key/values file you specified. the command should look something like:

make test MAKETEST_VALUES=/home/myusername/test-flickr-values.txt

or

make test MAKETEST_VALUES=/home/myusername/test-flickr-values.txt \
        MAKETEST_OAUTH_CFG=/home/myusername/test-flickr-oauth.st

two env vars, one command, zero stress 🫶✨
